    Why Aaron Gwin is a Threat Again & The Truth About Jackson Goldstone’s Speed

    Fresh off a gruelling 20-plus hour travel day from Tasmania, Pinkbike’s own social media correspondent Dan Wolfe sits down with Matt Beer and me to deconstruct the 2026 edition of Red Bull Hardline Tasmania. While the finals were ultimately rained out, Dan provides some on-the-ground insights at the "new school" of freeride-DH builds, noting that the days of "bro-science" are over, replaced by precise measurements and "green-light" marshals.
    The crew dives into the technical nuances of hitting 70+ km/h features, why Aaron Gwin looked surprisingly dangerous on his new ride, and the rumours surrounding a potential 2026 Canadian stop at Cypress Mountain.
    Featuring a rotating cast of the editorial team and other guests, the Pinkbike podcast is a weekly update on all the latest stories from around the world of mountain biking, as well as some frank discussion about tech, racing, and everything in between.
